Description:
We have a unique retail/wholesale restaurant supply store in Rochester, NY. Our 7,000 (URL removed). store supplies restaurant kitchen items/smallwares, used & new equipment, bulk dry, cooler & freezer foods, party supplies, foodservice disposables, janitorial supplies and baking supplies. We offer cooking and cake decorating classes in the evenings and weekends.
Our customer base is growing each month. Customers range from 'mom & pop' business owners to chain restaurants such as IHOP, Applebees to pizzerias, bakeries, bar/restaurants and anyone that likes to cook or bake at home.
We have had experience in foodservice sales & distribution for over 15 years. This is a niche business that has minimal competition in the local Rochester area. Our strengths include selling individual catering supplies that are common, but hard to find at larger chain stores.
We are looking for capital to expand, advertise and grow our business. We have short term plans to offer local deliveries, e-commerce sales and hire more sales people. We have long term plans to open a second and possibly third location inside a 30-mile radius.
